F8 SERIES

F8 Series

This is the latest series to join our range of CNC fins. It is loosely based on the DV9 design but with the added tip extension. Most of the designs in this series feature a slight flip in the tip as well, called the FLIPTWO.

This new design is a high-performance fin that handles various conditions. It features our PHAT FOILS and HOLOFOILS, with the FLIPTWO allowing for more efficient HOLOFOILS. In addition, extending the tip gives the fin a lot more feel later into the turn while also providing a better pivot point.

The main body of the fin is more wing-like than the typical fin and allows the fin to be very efficient at generating lift and thereby creating forward momentum.

Due to how the FLIPTWO is implemented, the fin profile features a distinctive taper from the base to the transition to the flip. The FLIPTWO is, in turn, a lot thinner than our first-generation flips. We are minimizing the risks of cavitation. There is also a slight hollowing of the inside face of the flip to give it a little more bite during a turn.

A dedicated center fin design features even more prominent tips to provide greater holding power and feel in the water. In addition, the center fin has very distinctive foils that differentiate between the throat and blade of the fin.

F8 Fin Combinations

Given this series's initial small range of sizes, we could not create all the possible combinations, but these are the standard ones.

Additional combinations can be created by mixing them with other fins, some of which are also shown here.

WARNING - DUAL TAB Fin Bases

HANALEI FINS cannot guarantee against the breakage of dual tab bases. The DUAL TAB system is designed to break under specific loads or hard impacts.

We try to make the tabs as strong as possible, but there is only so much we can do before we run into the limitations of the base design.

If a DUAL TAB base does break, we will work with the customer to replace the fins at a reduced price, but we cannot outright replace the fins at no charge!

NOTE - REPLACEMENT Fins

HANALEI FINS cannot sell individual side fins should you lose a side fin, as it means we have to break up a set of fins. So we are left with a fin that we have little chance of selling by itself.

If a fin is lost, we will work with the customer by selling a set of replacement fins at a reduced price. These replacement fins would not be in a bag to keep the cost down!

INFO - FLIP TIP Fins

For anyone interested in our fins featuring FLIP TIPS, please be aware that these fins are sensitive to the amount of toe-in used in the box setup, so it is worth checking with us.

We have encountered several cases where fin boxes set up with excessive toe-in have caused issues with fins featuring FLIP TIPS. We want to ensure there are no problems with our fins. Therefore we are offering to verify that they will work in the setup on any given board before buying any of these fins.

Before you order any of these fins, if you are unsure whether they will work on your board, please CONTACT us so we can ensure they will work for you!
